It seems as if LeBron James always somehow manages to become the butt of any joke. Fans often find the silliest reasons to trash the four-time NBA Champion even though he still stands as a major threat in the league. However, James doesn’t necessarily pay heed to the online trolling and stays focused on the game.

Based on the latest Hollywood updates, Greta Gerwig’s Barbie live-action film has been an absolute hit. It generated $22.3 million in previews which is the highest the movie industry has seen in a while. However, the internet somehow pinned the Los Angeles Lakers legend to the movie. An AI generated image of James in a pink skirt went viral via Buttcrack Sports on Twitter. Fans trolled the legend saying, “Jordan would never be caught like this… LeBuns not even top 20.”
Several individuals view LeBron James as a troll-worthy figure in the league. People have started using his name as well, adding “Le” as a prefix to various adjectives or nouns. LeFraud, LeFlop, and LeBrick are a few examples of what fans have been calling. However, the AI-generated image isn’t something that was recently created. It has been floating around the internet over the last few months.
LeBron James has fallen prey to edited images in the past
The answer to this is a definite yes! LeBron James has fallen prey to fabricated images in the past. As mentioned earlier, images of LeBron wearing a pink skirt and a t-shirt that matched, went viral on social media. A couple of fans fell right into the trap of believing the images were real and they began to make fun of the King of LA. The images showed James walking down a neighborhood and partying with a bunch of people.

It wasn’t until a few true LeBron James stans noticed a couple of irregularities in the images. For instance, a major giveaway was James’ face which appeared to be much leaner than usual. One image, in particular, did not look like James at all. However, these images have continued to linger around the internet and have come in handy for online trolls went it matters.
Earlier last week, an image of LeBron James in the same pink outfit photoshopped in front of a Barbie movie poster went viral. The caption of the image claimed that he was at the Hollywood premiere of the film.
Apart from all the jokes being circulated online, James has been having a great off-season. He announced that he won’t be retiring anytime soon after a shocking comment that he made which suggested that he was going to leave basketball. James, Anthony Davis, and the Lakers are looking forward to an incredible comeback.
